02/23/14: Weekly Song #3 - One Rose by Why? (2009)

This next entry is something i was listening to a lot around the time my Grandpa passed away. I often return to this album. Why? is a musician that started off more as a hiphopper and rapper. 

This album was conceived and recorded at the same time as their previous album Alopecia. Alopecia had remnants of hip hop left and with this additional collection of songs, he abandoned hip hop completely to show his more folky slant. 

Overall a pretty depressing album but "One Rose" is a beautiful song that I will remember forever. Why? can be an acquired taste for some, but I really love his unique approach to music. 

Thanks
